Aske Kammer, PhD, is Associate Professor of Journalism Studies at Roskilde University, Denmark. His research lies at the intersection of editorial matters, digital technology, and business models. He currently leads the Datafied News Industry (DANI) research project.
About the Event
In this seminar, Aske Kammer presents his research into the technical infrastructures that runs “under the hood” of news websites. Integrating theory from (media) management, crititcal data studies, and journalism studies, he walks us through how he analyzed 147 general news websites from Denmark and mapped the underlying technical infrastructure. On this basis, he presents the network of technology companies that keeps the news running – and discusses the implications of dependencies upon such companies.
